New Class Champions and Followers in Patch 7.2

With patch 7.2, your Class Order Halls will be busy with new quests and missions, as well as new Class Champions and Followers! Learn about all the new champions and followers in today's 7.2 Preview.\r\rIn the patch notes, Blizzard stated that 7.2 will allow you to recruit new followers for your class hall, and further clarified on Twitter that the follower cap is raised to 6.\rClass Campaigns\rEvery class continues its campaign to unify in the war effort. Your Class Hall is the base from which you will embark on a new quest chain, find a new potential Follower, and discover new class-specific World Quests. \r\r\rNew Champions\r\rEach class will earn an additional champion via Les champions du Déclin. This quest is one part of the story for Conquête de la tombe, which is not needed for flying.\r\rHere are the Class Hall Champions each class will earn:\r\rDeath Knight: Minerva Ravensorrow - Death Knights will recognize her from the Frost artifact acquisition quest.\rDemon Hunter: Lady S'theno. Currently the recruiter for troops, she'll join in the Mission battle herself.\rDruid: Thisalee Crow. Thisalee was first seen in the Cataclysm in Mount Hyjal and later became a Garrison Follower, Thisalee Corbeau / Choluna, from the story campaign in Warlords of Draenor.\rHunter: Nighthuntress Syrenne. Currently she is a hard-hitting, EQ-flavoured mob in Suramar.\rMage: Aethas Sunreaver, who is the leader of the Sunreavers and a quest giver in Wrath of the Lich King and Mists of Pandaria\rMonk: Almai\rPaladin: Nerus Moonfang, a rare Night Elf paladin.\rPriest: Aelthalyste, a Priest trainer from the Undercity\rRogue: Tess Greymane (Alliance follower), daughter of Genn, now heir to the Gilneas throne, Lilian Voss(Horde follower), the famous hunter of necromancers you fought as a boss in the revamped Scholomance.\rShaman: Magtha Grimtotem, the tauren who engineered the death of Cairne Bloodhoof and subsequently exiled\rWarlock: Kanrethad Ebonlocke, an NPC we last saw as the main opponent during the Black Harvest\/Green Fire scenario for Warlocks.\rWarrior: Darius Crowley (Alliance follower), former leader of the Gilneas Liberation Front, Eitrigg (Horde follower), advisor to the Horde Warchief\r\rMages and Paladins have additional champions they can acquire through fun unique quests.\rLe grand Akazamzarak, who is currently a shady Hearthstone card trick dealer in Dalaran, has a special questline.\rMaximillian of Northshire, who you may remember from the revamped Un'goro Crater has a long, detailed, and hilarious quest line in order to aquire him as a follower. Please see our full post on that here. \r\r\r\rNew Troops\rThere are two Order Advancements on the 7.2 PTR which provide champion benefits. Browse a full list of advancements in our database:\r\rRank 7 lets you choose between a new type of troop or increasing the maximum amount of champions by 1. Cost: 0 Ressources de domaine\rTo earn Rank 7, you must need to complete the Les champions du Déclin achievement and recruit the new champion, listed above.\r\rHere are the new troops for each class and their associated advancement:\rDeath Knight - Givre et mort - Chevaliers d'ébène saccage-givre\rDemon Hunter - Lames de mort - Shivarra\rDruid - Gardiens du Bosquet - Gardiens de la Sylverêve\rHunter - Le sacre de la nuit - Chasseresses sacrenuit\rMage - Gardiens du Kirin Tor - Gardiennes du Kirin Tor\rMonk - Maîtres de la voie - Maîtres de la sérénité\rPaladin - Croisés de la Main d’argent - Croisées de la Main d'argent\rPriest - Prêtres capuchonnés - Prêtres capuchonnés\rRogue - L’élite de Ravenholdt - Assassins de Ravenholdt\rShaman - Cercle de terre - Protectrices du Cercle terrestre\rWarlock - Brutes démoniaques - Brutes gangregardes\rWarrior - Rude frappe - 7th Legion Shock Force (Alliance)\/Kor'kron Shock Force (Horde)

The 30000 trait listed here is out of date.\r\rAlso is the new champion slot baseline or is it the same one from the order upgrade? Those new troops look nice, but nowhere near as good as an extra champion.

Removed the trait, we'll probably do a separate post on AP in 7.2 and it makes more sense highlighting the new one there. We had this post drafted Monday before the changes :)

Looks like it will be on top of it - follower cap increased to 6.

I'm caring much for another champion. I mean it's nice to have and all, but seriously why do you need another one? Already have others all max'd out and pretty much any mission thrown at us can be accomplished without another one. Seems like a WASTE of 20000 Order Hall Resources. If they are increasing the follower cap to 6 then would this mean we can get 7 total with the 20k?

A new troop is cool as well (appear to have a couple added benefits), but again 20k seems a tad overboard. I think we have a Mainhand upgrade that is also needing a chunk of Order Hall Resources.

I need to go back and look at the 7.2 Order Hall upgrade path - I fear this is in the tree before Mainhand upgrade (Which would be annoying, but *meh*).

Champs get bonuses plus equipment, and troops cost extra resources... Champions just allow for more versatility.\r\rBut if seven champs, that means more space for dedicated combat ally resource farmers without sacrificing mission coverage! Which means goooold.

I took it as 6 permanent so that people wouldn't feel bad deactivating their old followers. But now I'm wondering that myself. Twitter is too vague for these sorts of things.

Or even an extra successful mission full stop.

for the cost of the trait we should have em both. IMO.

Twitter is too vague for these sorts of things.\r\rYou'd probably be more successful in getting clarification =P I, and others, have tried asking WarcraftDevs but no response. Which only makes it more frustrating... vague answers can be more annoying than no answer, sometimes.

May be a silly question, but will champion ilvl be increased? I have tons of champion equipment taking up bag space.

Is it me... or are rogues shafted in terms of new followers? Yes we get Tess\/Lillian... but we're the only one where it *isn't* a bodyguard...

The current price for the Class Hall upgrade are 10,000 Ressource for rank 7 and 15,000 for Rank 8. They dropped it sometime ago. (And yes, you get +1 Follower limit once you get the new Follower, increasing the limit to 6, and another one from the rank 7 upgrade, increasing the limit to 7).

the legionfall campaign is NOT needed for flying:\rhttp:\/\/blue.mmo-champion.com\/topic\/803101-50k-shards-for-a-quest-is-too-much\/\r\r\rAdditionally, some folks are worried that the Legionfall Campaign is going to stop them from flying. It's not! The campaign is not a requirement to unlock flying in 7.2. One of the early versions of the achievement had that as a requirement, but it has since been removed\r\r\rso the achievement "breaching the tomb" isn't needed, right?

If they are increasing the follower cap to 6 then would this mean we can get 7 total with the 20k?\r\rPart of me agrees with you. Another part is actually quite happy with the potential 7 champions in my order hall.\r\rCurrently you can only have 5 champions. For a lot of classes it's interresting to have at least 1 assigned as bodyguard. Be it for the bonus resources\/gold, for a utility perk (e.g. Reghar on shaman for 200% ghost wolf speed) or simply to have an npc tank\/dps to accompany you.\r\rThat leaves 4 champions for missions (granted you can unequip and reequip your bodyguard constantly, but a lot of people find that a hassle and\/or often send away missions as they log on and do WQ shortly after that).\rThat means 1x 2 counters for one type of boss and 2x 1 counter for the other types.\r\rIn this case the ability to have 6 or 7 follows will give a lot more flexibility in this regard. \rFor example on my shaman I have 2x Elemental champions active (Avalanchion + Mylra); 1x Restoration (Hydraxis); 1x Enhancement (Muln) and 1x Reghar as bodyguard (backup Enhancement). If I had the option to add another Restoration and possibly a 7th (either another enhance or something with a flexible role) that would be really nice in allowing me to send away multiple missions.\rSimilarily I also only have 1 counter vs minions (Chain Lightning) on my champions, so getting another one of those would be nice to have as well so I can send away 2 parties with that counter.\r\rGranted; my current setup allows me to counter just about anything with 200% easily. Even in 2 parties (due to having a lot of +% on missions >8 hours and having Avalanchion with it's passive +% tier 2 and 2x equiped +% tier 2 bonuses). Still though, I welcome more active champions.

I'm so torn.

On one hand, Resto\/Chain Lightning would be a great champion that would fill a void I have with my roster of 5 champions... On the other hand, it's freaking Magtha Grimtotem whom I'd just as quickly see tossed into the Maelstrom...

Ring of Earth is a complete joke. It's a duplicate of Rise! and frankly I find myself not wasting time on those minions either. Tier 1 and Tier 2 minions are just fine.

What's this "Combat Ally: Guardian" trait they all have? Are we getting another bodyguard follower? That we can change from either one that follows you around or one that can be used on a cooldown? It says "Assign <insert name> to be your Guardian, acting either in a Bodyguard or Support role." which doesn't give much away just reading it on a website.

In other words, again Monks get the afterthought in Legion class hall development. :( there are a bunch of previous monks they could have chosen from: Master Bruised Paw (aka the Hidden Master), any of the students from Tian Monastery that continue into VotFW and Krasarag, any of the Shado-pan, any number of trainers...
